Since I was Missing... Beth Anne's DR. Phil
As I was missing for a while caring for Mom I am taking the time now to answer the challenge questions Beth Anne brought forth from Dr.Phil .
WHY DO YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT!To recapture health, vigor and stamina. To allow me to do all the things I want to do. To set me free to be a real part of life and involved! To free me from avoiding uncomfortable situtation and peoples harsh judgements. To increase the joy in myself and my marriage. Self pride, confidence and to feel like an Ulta feminine female again. To wear the clothes that reflect my true personality. To look like the woman I am inside. To take the pressure off my damaged spine.
WHAT AM I DOING TO LOSE THE WEIGHT? Learning to manage stress in a positive way rather than destructive way. Eating healthy, fruits and veg rather than junk. To take contol of the desire for sweets and periodiacally permit a small treat( say one piece of something I crave and take the time to relish it and go on). To reward myself with special events or pamperings , perhaps gifts rather than food. Changing my mind about how to live with the tendency to be large not letting that rule my life. Do projects to improve and organize my surroundings and home. Working out ways to break habits and old mind sets. Setting out methods to really live in an organized, healthy and simpler way. Changing me how I view life and myself , how I view food.
What am I not Doing to lose weight?
Not exercising on a regular basis. Staying in old habits.
Depending on crystal lite instead of water. (And I was a water Champ!)
Maintaining a somewhat seditary life even though the benefits of exercise made an astounding difference!
Not following up with the Doctor about my much need stomach medicine. Failing to see to myself and tend to others entirely.
Pinpoint 10 patterns of living that you have accepted without question.
1- I am a fat woman
2- Losing weight is very hard after 30 years of age
3- It takes two hours for me to drink coffe and get woke up.
4- My energy levels have always been low.
5-I have a severly damage back.
6-I am a night owl.
7-I am addicted to food and cigarettes.
8-My wants and needs are secondary to everything and everyone else.
9-I have to swallow all my feelings and emotions to create peace.
10- Mom needs me to sit with her everyday and watch tv so she doesn't feel lonely.
11- I avoid medical care in order to save money we need to use for other things
12- I do not tend to eat during the day but I am hungry at night.
*Note * Recent realization a fear of starvation is a reoccurant theme in my life.
I know I have a couple of extras but all of these are major players in keeping the fat as a part of my lifestyle and mind set.
